Neither of those statements makes any sense.  The IDE/ATA code already
handles 10GB disks, and should work fine in an Atari.  The OS doesn't
care what the geometry is; only the BIOS on PCs does (for booting),
and it cares for *all* disks, not just those using the wd/wdc drivers.
(Of course, the Atari may have its own restrictions on booting.)
